Description


Join us again this year as we ride in memory of Joe - a husband, a father, a teacher, a friend, and a valued member of our community - who lost his life one year ago while commuting by
bicycle.

Together, we will REMEMBER Joe, RIDE on, and REIMAGINE safe and inclusive active transportation. Like last year, this will be a calm, peaceful, and respectful ride. The pace will be slow to ensure all ages and abilities can take part and emphasis will be on safety.

Date: Monday June 16, 2025

Time: Gather at 6:30 pm, ride starts at 7:00 pm

Place: Holy Family School where Joe worked as a teacher

Route: Holy Family School to Canada Games Center via Wann Road, Alaska Highway, and Hamilton Blvd. multi-use trail

Safety remains the highest priority. With the amazing support of Highways & Public Works – Transportation Maintenance Branch, the Alaska Highway will be temporarily closed to motor vehicle traffic for the duration of the ride. A brief safety and logistics overview will be provided before departure. A pilot and a sweep vehicle will escort our group.

Help us spread the word - let’s gather as a community to support safe, inclusive transportation for everyone. Wear a helmet and dress for the weather.
